F reword 




N the preparation of this book, "Essex County Heroes of 
To-day," it has been the aim of the editors to present in 
it, with historical accuracy, the correct names and record 
of those boys of Bloomfield and Glen Ridge, who served 
their country and fought for the freedom of the world. 
When the United States entered the struggle and became a part of the 
biggest war the world has ever known, President Wilson sent out a call 
for the youth of the country to lay aside their civilian clothes and don 
the uniform of the United States Army and Navy. 

The entire country responded. Boys who were raised in luxury 
went forth, side by side with the boy whose lot was cast in humble 
places. "All for one and one for all" that was the motto of this wonderful 
mountain of men who answered the call of their country and their God, 
and now, the conclusion of war stamps these glorious boys of the United 
States the finest in the world. 

In compiling the Bloomfield and Glen Ridge section of the 
"Essex County Heroes of To-day" we have endeavored to have the 
records accurate and the cuts as clear as could be produced from the 
photographs furnished. We trust our work will meet with your approval. 

The Editors.

From President IVilson's War Address to Congress 

April 2nd, 1917 

HE world must be made safe for democracy. Its peace 
must be planted upon the tested foundation of political 
liberty. We have no selfish ends to serve. We desire no 
conquest, no dominion. We seek no indemnities for our- 
selves, no material compensation for the sacrifices we 
shall freely make. We are but one of the champions of 
the rights of mankind. We shall be satisfied when those rights have 
been made as secure as the faith and the freedom of nations can make 
them 

"Just because we fight without rancour and without selfish objects, 
seeking nothing for ourselves but what we shall wish to share with all 
free peoples, we shall, I feel confident, conduct our operations as bellig- 
erents without passion and ourselves observe with proud punctilio the 
principles of right and of fair play we profess to be fighting for 

"There are, it may be, many months of fiery trial and sacrifice ahead 
of us. It is a fearful thing to lead this great peaceful people into war, 
into the most terrible and disastrous of all wars, civilization itself seem- 
ing to be in the balance. But the right is more precious than peace, and 
we shall fight for the things which we have always carried nearest our 
hearts — for democracy, for the right of those who submit to authority to 
have a voice in their own governments, for the rights and liberties of 
small nations, for a universal dominion of right by such a concert of free 
peoples as shall bring peace and safety to all nations and make this world 
itself at last free. To such a task we can dedicate our lives and our for- 
tunes, everything that we are and everything that we have, with the pride 
of those who know that the day has come when America is privileged to 
spend her blood and her might for the principles that gave her birth and 
happiness and the peace which she has treasured. God helping her, she 
can do no other."

From the Peace Proclamation by President Wilson 

November 17, 1918 

OD has, in his good pleasure, given us peace. It has not 
come as a mere cessation of arms, a mere relief from the 
strain and tragedy of war. It has come as a great 
triumph of right. Complete victory has brought us, not 
peace alone, but the confident promise of a new day as 

well, in which justice shall replace force and jealous intrigue among the 

nations. ... 

"Our gallant armies have participated in triumph which is not 
marred or stained by any purpose of selfish aggression. In a righteous 
cause they have won immortal glory and have nobly served their nation 
in serving mankind. ... 

"God has indeed been gracious. We have cause for such rejoicing 
as revives and strengthens in us all the best traditions of national history. 
A new day shines about us in which our hearts take new courage and 
look forward with new hope to new and greater duties." 



By the President, 

WooDROw Wilson 



Robert Lansing, Secretary of State.

GENERAL JOHN JOSEPH PERSHING. 

General John Joseph Pershing was born in Lino County, Missouri, September 13, i860. He 
was educated in the Normal School, Kirksville, Mo., and Wesf Point Academy. General Per- 
shing toolc a competitive examination in his home town to enter West Point and won by a single 
point. He was graduated in 1886 as a Senior Cadet Captain, the highest honor any undergraduate 
can achieve. He was appointed Second Lieutenant in the 6th U. S. Cavalry. General Pershing's 
record as a soldier is an enviable one. From the day he assumed his first command, July i, 1886, 
up to the day he was selected by President Wilson to lead the American Expeditionary Forces in 
France, he has been in thorough accord with the affairs of his country, and it is safe to say there 
has never been a moment day or night in all those years when Pershing was not ready to answer 
"here" to the call of his superior officer. When President Wilson had to choose from a number 
of men who could have led the Army with honor, it must have required hours of serious thought 
for him to finally pick the one who in his way of thinking was the best. After due deliberation 
he selected John J. Pershing as the man. The result we know. The name "Pershing" will be 
engraved on the tablet of fame in the history which will be handed down to future generations, 
the big man in the biggest war the world has ever known.

Sea Girt, July 29, 1918. 

Every Jerseyman i^ proud of the Essex County heroes of to-day. They 
represent the best of a famous count>- in a colonial State. Nobler patriotism 
or more exacting sacrifices than those of to-day have never been asked of 
Americans. From a grossly exaggerated national sense of security into which 
we -were lulled by dreams that civilization was competent to settle its problems 
without recourse to the sword, Americans are suddenly thrust into the vortex 
of the world's mightiest clash of arms. The readiness and enthusiasm of the 
response is a splendid demonstration of fealty and loyaltv. 

Walter E. Edge, Governor.

Tn have held the office of Mayor in Bloomfield, nl 
M lime when the citizens were put on their metal and 
forced to show of what material they were made, has been 
a rare privilege. When the country called for the help 
of the boys of the United States to win the freedom of the 
world, Essex County answered with the real American 
spirit, and in no town In the county was the response more 
universal than in the town of Bloomfield. President and 
country called — that was all that was needed — "theirs not 
to reason why" — they just went. How they succeeded, and 
accomplished that which they started out to do, is now 
history. The saddest and the proudest days of my life 
were those on which our boys marched away to war. Many 
of those boys I had watched grow from boyhood to man- 
hood, and to realize that I was taking the last look upon 
many, perhaps all of them, was a keen sorrow; but through 
it all was the pride that they were our own boys going 
forth to do their duty and help make a better world. Some 
of those boys have made the supreme sacrifice. I envy 
them. Let us not forget, those of us who are left to mourn, 
the work done by those boys and their brave comrades, 
and in future years, when the horrors of the biggest war 
in history have faded, let us not fail to remember the days 
in 1917 and 1918 when our boys went out cheerfully to 
fight for you :ind me, and for all humanity. 

Frederick Sadli-r, Mayor.

Since that memorable day in November when Amer- 
ica stood still, dashed aside her cloak of reserve and then 
proceeded to celebrate the advent of peace in a delirium 
of joy and thanksgiving, we have rapidly returned to our 
normal state. It took a world w-ar — or the ending of one 
— to enalble Arnericans to express their emotions freely — 
spontaneously. 

Not one of us is apt to forget that the men of this 
county have been in the very thick of the fight. Essex 
boys have worked, fought, bled, and died in this country 
and abroad, in the air, on land and on sea. You will find 
their names and honorable records in every branch of the 
service. We shall not forget how they dropped their 
work and play at_the call, unselfishly abandoning their in- 
dividual hopes and ambitions to fight for you and for me. 
It has been our privilege to see with our own eyes the 
fervor and zeal with which our boys worked arid trained 
in neighboring camps and cantonments. We cannot for- 
get these things: we are proud of them and we must not be 
afraid to show that pride. 

To these men, who now return to us quietly resuming 
their work at the point where they threw it aside, we can 
say, "You have done your job and done it well. You have 
our deepest appreciation and most heartfelt thanks." We 
must not fail to make them understand that even though 
our praise remains unspoken, it rests warm in our hearts — 
now and always. 

Henry S. Babbage, Mavor.

N ALL Essex County there were no more earnest workers than in Bloomfield 
and Glen Ridge. The men of the town and borough gave their time and 
money to work for the different drives, and in every instance where brains and 
purses were needed, there would be found men ready and willing to do 
their share towards helping those brave boys who were sacrificing not only 
their loved ones and positions, but their lives as well. The women! What can be said of the 
women of Bloomfield and Glen Ridge to adequately tender the praise due them? New words 
will have to be coined to tell of their faithful work — sewing, knitting, plowing, working in 
munition plants, even helping in the railroad yards and in every branch of work into which 
women had never before invaded. Hardened indeed will be the soldier or sailor boy who 
will not doubly adore his women folks after knowing the brave way they took up the burdens 
of the men so they could go forth and redeem the world. Whether it was for Liberty Loan, 
Red Cross, Y. M. C. A., Knights of Columbus, War Camp Community Work, or Salvation 
Army, town and borough went over the top every time. 

When the Government decided on a selective-service system, to help win the war, it be- 
came most important that the men selected for the working of each draft board should be 
well fitted for the position, from a patriotic and clerical viewpoint. For this important otHce 
John A. Brown, Borough Clerk of CAen Ridge, was selected as secretary of Exemption Board 
No. 2, which covered Glen Ridge, Bloomfield and Cedar Grove. The Clovernment had taken J°"^' '^- BROWN, SR. 

on a big contract and needed able assistants. To enroll for service more than 24,000,000 men; to mobilize a selected army of more than 
2,800,000, a million of them within 90 days; to have in a short time availaible for military duty 2,000,000 additional fighting men — 
these are results which might be considered impossible. Yet all this was accomplished. Mr. Brown registered out of his office in 
the Borough Hall in Glen Ridge, 387 men for selective service. 

The parade in Bloomfield to celebrate the beginning of the Fourth Liberty Loan will stand out as the greatest parade in the 
history of the town, and it is safe to say there could not be a greater one in any town of its size. The committee in charge worked hard 
to make the parade one blaze of glory — and they succeeded. The pictures on this page and the page following were taken on the day 
of the parade and show four views of it. 

The War Work Campaign was a blending of all the societies wliicli were working for general results — the ^ . M. C. A., Y. W. 
C. A., Knights of Columbus, Jewish Welfare Board, National Catholic War Council, Salvation Army, and War Camp Community 
Service. Block dances, socials, and entertainments of all kinds were kept up constantly to raise money for the different drives. Churches, 
schools, public halls, theatres — all were used to further the work. The school children and the teachers of Glen Ridge and Bloomfield 
deserve the highest praise for their devotion and earnest work during the entire period of the war. 

In all of the Lifcerty Loan drives, Glen Ridge and Bloomfield went away over the top in subscriptions. The borough did so well 
that the honor of naming one of the new boats of the Shipping Fleet was awarded them. It would seem as if the patriotism of Glen 
Ridge was limitless. Just as it was thought the top had been reached in the different drives, some one would come along and boost 
things by contributing another thousand or two. So it was in all the work done in the borough during the war. They gave their 
boys to fight, they gave their money, and nrien, women, and children were untiring in their love and loyalty to their country and to the 
hoys who had offered their all. 

In the Liberty Leans the following amounts were collected; at times the quota was quadrupled: First Loan, $317,250; Second 

Loan, $800,250; Third Loan, $867,000; Fourth Loan, 
$1,251,050. The local bank, the Glen Ridge Trust 
Company, subscribed more than $50,000. 

The work for the Red Cross was on a par with 
that of the Liberty Loan, always at the head of the 
list in giving. In the first Red Cross War Fund, in 
June, 191 7, $39i595-70 was collected and the subscribers 
were 734. The second drive for the same Fund, June, 
1918, brought in $39,600, and there were 1,500 sub- 
scribers. The money collected in the Chapter for the 
different departments is as follows: Subscriptions, $16,- 
608.80; Donations, $1,760.74; Membership, $6,135.10; 
Sales, $1,110.67; Classes, $1,100; Share of War Fund, 
$15,690.53. The citizens of the borough donated one 
ambulance for service and another was given by Robert 
L. Johnstone. 

The people of the borough responded very gener- 
ously to the appeals for books for the soldiers and 




Fifleen 




which were used in the purchase of materia! of all 
kinds for garments, surgical dressings, and home ser- 
vice for families of soldiers and sailors in service, to 
the amount of $28,159.38, of which the Chapter's share 
in two membership drives was $6,369.50, and a special 
donation for Dodge ambulance, $1,800. 

The War Fund Drives resulted: First War Fund 
subscriptions, $27,621.99; Second War Fund subscrip- 
tions, $100,669.98; and all this was accomplished at 
an expense which was ridiculously small : Expenses 
First War Fund, $258.65; expenses Second War Fund, 
$224..54. 

Surgical dressings made by Bloomfield Chapter 
totalled 174,000. One ambulance was donated by Alli- 
son Dodd, one by the citizens of the town, and one by 
the Polish women, Belgian relief, hospital linen, pa- 
tients' clothing, socks, sweaters, and every article known 
to be of use to the soldiers and sailors were turned 



sailors. Three thousand hooks were seal to ihe camp'; 
and dispatch stations, besides 500 magaziius. 1 lu- 
library distributed the Food Administration's leaflets, 
the Liberty Loan literature, and posted the numerous 
bulletins sent out by the government. For some months 
tile assistant gave a d:iy each week to helping prepare 
the books for overseas at tlie A. L. A. Dispatch Station 
in Hoboken. 

For the Liberty Loan Drives in BloomlieUl the 
following amounts were obtained: First Loan, $662,450; 
Second Loan, $1,374,000; Third Loan, $1,278,150; 
Fourth Loan, $2,283,600. I'.neh amount went far ahead 
of the quotas, which were: First Loan, $600,000; 
Second Loan, $1,374,000; 'I'hird Loan, $521,000, and 
the Fourth Loan, $1,042,000. Subscriptions of local 
banks totaled $662,450. 

Bloomfield contributed in cash direct 10 the Bloom- 
field Chapter of the American Red Cross as a result of 
the Maintenance Drive and other personal subscrip- 
tions, and from lectures, entertainments, etc., funds 





out in immense quantities by the Red Cross Chapters 
in both Bloomfield and Glen Ridge. 

The Jarvie Memorial Library was a vital factor in 
the world's biggest war. An appeal through a circular 
signed by Mayor Sadler and the Library Committee 
brought $335 for the War Service Fund. During the 
year, the library collected gift books and magazines, 
being assisted by the Boy Scouts and school children. 
It was materially aided in advertising the slogan, 
"Books for Soldiers," by the Independent Press and the 
moving-picture screens. Three thousand seven hundred 
and fifty-nine books were contributed by the citizens of 
Bloomfield, of which number 800 were collected by the 
Bloomfield Club. Camp Fire Girls and other volunteers 
helped the librarians label the books and prepare them 
for the shelves. These were sent, mainly, to Camp 
Merritt, Camp Dix, the A. L. A. Dispatch Office, 
Lakehurst, and Colonia Hospital.

One Hundred and Nineteen 



From ''The Stars and Stripes'* 



(The "Stars and Stripes" gives a vivid description of the 
scene on the battle field along the Meuse November ii, when 
the news of the signing of the Armistice reached the front.) 

At the eleventh hour on the eleventh day of the eleventh 
month hostilities came to an end from Switzerland to the sea. 
Early that morning, from the wireless station on the Eiffel 
Tower in Paris, there had gone forth through the air to the 
■wondering, half-incredulous line that the Americans held from 
near Sedan to the Moselle the order from Marshal Foch to 
cease firing on the stroke of ii. 

On the stroke of ii the cannon stopped, the rifles dropped 
from the shoulders, the machine guns grew still. There fol- 
lowed then a strange, unbelievable silence as though the world 
had died. It lasted but a moment, lasted for the space that a 
breath is held. Then came such an uproar of relief and jubi- 
lance, such a tooting of horns, shrieking of whistles, such an 
overture from the bands and trains and church bells, such a 
shouting of voices as the earth is not likely to hear again in 
our day and generation. 

When night fell on the battlefield the clamor of the cele- 
bration waxed rather than waned. Darkness? There was 
none. Rockets and a ceaseless fountain of star shells made the 
lines a streak of glorious brilliance across the face of startled 
France, while, by the light of flares, the front and all its danc- 
ing, boasting, singing people was as clearly visible as though 
the sun sat high in the heavens. 

The man from Mars, coming to earth on the morning of 
November ii, 1918, would have been hard put to it to say 
which army had won, for, if anything, the greater celebration, 
the more startling outburst, came not from the American but 
from the German side. At least he could have said — that man 
from Mars — to which side the suspension of hostilities had 
come as the greater relief. 

The news began to spread across the front shortly after 
the sun rose. There was more or less of an effort to send it 
forward only through military channels, to have the corps re- 
port it calmly by wire to the divisions, quite as though this were 
an ordinary order and nothing to get excited about. 

There was the effort. But it did not work very well. The 
word was sped on the kind of wireless that man knew many 
centuries before Marconi came on earth. 

"The guerre will be finee at 11 o'clock. Finee la guerre." 

You could hear it called out again and again. 

"What time?" 

"Eleven o'clock." 

A pause. 

"Say, you, what time is it now?" 

They took it a little incredulously at first. That was old 
stuff, that rumor. They had heard it again and again during 
the past fortnight. 

"Well, the captain says it's so." 

"Hell, who's he? I'll wait till Foch comes and tells m.e 
himself." . . . 

All along the seventy-seven miles held by the Americans 
the firing continued, literally, unto the eleventh hour. At one 
minute before eleven, when a million eyes were glued to the 
slow-creeping minute hands of a million watches, the roar of 
the guns was a thing to make the old earth tremble. At one 
point — it was where the Yankee division visiting, at the time, 
with a French corps was having a brisk morning battle to the 
east of the Meuse, a man stationed at one battery stood with a 
handkerchief in his uplifted hand, his eyes fixed on his watch. 
It was one minute before eleven. To the lanyards of the four 
big guns ropes were tied, each rope manned by 200 soldiers, 
cooks, stragglers, messengers, gunners, everybody. At eleven 



the handkerchief fell, the men pulled, the guns crashed out the 
last shot of the battery. And so it went at a hundred, at a 
thousand, places along the line. . . . 

Then a quite startling thing occurred. The skyline of the 
crest ahead of them grew suddenly populous with dancing sol- 
diers and, down the slope, all the way to the barbed wire, 
straight for the Americans, came the German troops. They 
came with outstretched hands, ear-to-ear grins, and souvenirs to 
swap for cigarettes, so well did they know the little weakness 
of their foe. They came to tell how pleased they were the 
fight had stopped, how glad they were the Kaiser had departed 
for parts unknown, how fine it was to know they would have 
a republic at last in Germany. 

When the great hour came, across the trenches from our 
side swarmed a small army of civilians bearing lood and cloth- 
ing to their kith and kin on the other side. From ttie highest 
steeple in Thann the tricolor fluttered gayly, and within the 
church there knelt in thanksgiving old folks from miles around. 

With them, in among them, poilus knelt and Yankee sol- 
diers, and the crowd so choked the aisles and steps that the 
priest could not move forward for his services. But the words 
that he preached from the pulpit were such words as leave the 
eyes dim and the heart glowing. 

Up to the front, past Montfaucon and Romagne, past Re- 
monville and on up, a truck trundled that morning. Over the 
tailboard, at the endless mud of Argonne and Ardennes, there 
gazed a boy who had been drafted in the heart of America 
some six months before and who, with stop-offs for tedious 
training on the way, had slowly journeyed from his home to 
the Ardennes. It had taken him six months, it had put him 
through the cheerless channel of the replacement system, but 
it had brought him at last to his destination — the destination of 
his daydreams and his nightmares. He had reached the front. 

As he rode along he noticed a certain excitement tingling 
everywhere, but perhaps that was just the mood of the front. 
When finalh' the truck stopped and he jumped out, the news 
^^■as waiting for hiin. 

"It is eleven o'clock. The war is over." 

"Hell," he said. "I just got here." 

Then he laughed a short little laugh that was made half 
of relief and half of disappointment. And his name was Pri- 
^ ate George W. Legion. 

Up in a high observation post an American observer was 
trying to penetrate the mist with his German field glasses. The 
young officer at his elbow asked him to look due west. What 
did he see? Well, not much — the road to the forest full of traf- 
fic, no shell fire, a crippled airplane in the field below. 

"Lord, Lord, what good are those glasses? WTiy, without 
them, I can see a little house in Kansas City. There's a nursery 
on the second floor and the sun, shining in the window, just 
touches a cradle there. Inside that cradle, man, is my daugh- 
ter. I have never seen her before. She was born since I sailed 
for France." 

Meanwhile, on the roads below, the Engineers were work- 
ing with a will. No time to celebrate, for the roads must be 
kept in shape. But they sang as they worked — 

Send the word, send the word over there 

That the Yanks are coming, the Yanks are coming 

The words, in that hour, had acquired a new significance. 
While here and there across the devastated land where Yanks 
were at work, you could hear a knot burst into song. And the 
burden of all the songs was this: 

It's home, boys, home, it's home we ought to be — 

Home, boys, home, in the land of liberty. 

So came to an end the nth of November, 1918 — the 585th 
day since America entered the war.

Bloomfield and Glen Ridge Boys Who Made 
the Supreme Sacrifice 



In memory's retrospect it appears but a moment of time since the fine stalwart boys who went forth to answer the call to 
fight for humanity were little tots playing soldier and firing off their little air guns. How fearful the gentle mother was that her boy 
might get hurt, or perhaps hurt some other boy. It seems impossible to believe that all is over and your little boy of the toy gun has paid 
the great price. He gave all of himself for the betterment of the world. You did not know, dear mothers, the wonderful halo that 
was to shine over the heads of your little bo}s. Did You? Surely there is a special place for those brave bo\ s up there in the Heav- 
enly Home. They went out with a smile on their lips and a prayer in their hearts. Be proud, dear parents and wives and sisters and 
sweethearts, you are indeed favored — your soldier boy has "gone West to the setting of the Sun." He has his reward: no more war 
nor strife will he have to contend with — just peace and love. 



BAILEY, "KEIMNETH (Lieut.): Glen Ridge; was killed in 
action October 9, 1918, while in battle with the load 
Field Artillery. He was the first boy whose name was on 
the service roll of the Congregational Church to make the 
supreme sacrifice. Six days before his death, Lieut. Bailey 
wrote a letter to his parents in which he tells of a gun 
inspection trip the previous day: "When I finished the 
inspection a peculiar spirit moved me to -wander out on 
the plain to the right of the position, where I could look 
out for miles across the level country before me, into the 
territory occupied by the Huns. It is one of the quiet days 
here \vhich, unless one has been in the lines, can scarcely 
be imagined. At a time like this I wonder why it all had 
to happen, and think of the time when that quiet that 
exists now will not be a stillness that breeds suspicion, for 
such silence often means a cloudburst later, but one of 
peace." TTc went out shortly after to meet the Prince of 
Peace. 

BARRY, DAVID: was killed in action November 10. 1918, the 
day preceding the signing of the Armistice. While others 
were rejoicing over the realization that peace was to be 
declared, the family of David Barry were plunged in 
mourning and grief, for their dear son and brother had 
"gone West." But why should they grieve — for has he not 
reached the heights? 

BENJAMIN, WILLIAM DAVID: 69 East Baldwin Street, 
Bloomfield; was killed in action while with the 114th In- 
fantry, 29th Division, Blue and Gray, east of the Meuse. 
The parents of this young man were held in suspense for 
a number of days. They received word he was dead, then 
that he was not, and then again another message saying 
the first report was true and that he had been killed in 
action. Mr. Benjamin was very popular and had a large 
circle of friends who grieve over his passing, although 
knowing he would not have it otherwise if, in the going, 
he had done his share in saving humanity. 

BLAND, WILLIAM HENRY (Sergeant): Died in a hospital 
in France, from pneumonia, September 2, 1918. His death 
came as a severe shock to his mother, as, in a letter received 
a short time previously, he had made no mention of being 
ill. That is the way with the real soldier. He never whines, 
just grins and bears whatever comes. 

BODDY, HENRY (Corporal); Infantry, A. E. F. ; died in 



France, December 5, 191 8. His home address was 68 
Edison Street, Bloomfield. 

BORCHER, CLARENCE (Lieut.) : "Don't cry and regret the 
past if you receive a telegram stating that your husband 
fell on the field of honor. The only regret I will have is 
that I -ivon't be able to kiss you good-bye and be buried 
on American soil." This is an extract from a letter re- 
ceived by Mrs. Clarence Borcher from her husband, Lieut. 
Clarence Borcher, shortly before she received the telegram 
from Washington notifying her that her husband had been 
killed in battle on October 13, 1918. Lieut. Borcher was 
but twenty-six years old, but he had the courage of a vet- 
eran and \vas a thorough soldier. "To know him was to 
love him." 

CANNIFF, BERNARD: Killed in action November 10, 1918, 
the day preceding the signing of the Armistice. Bernard 
Canniff was to his mother a kind, devoted son ; therefore, 
naturally, he made a fine soldier. His father died twenty 
years ago, leaving the little mother with four children to 
provide for. As soon as Bernard grew to manhood he start- 
ed in to take the place of the father who had gone, and in 
every way cared for his mother as well as it was in his 
power to do. When he was ordered overseas he came 
home on a furlough to kiss her good-bye, but she did not 
know it was a final farewell. Ever thoughtful of his 
mother, he would not allow his brothers to tell her he was 
going overseas until he had sailed. The last act of kind- 
ness he did for her was to install steam throughout the 
little home on Farrand Street. "When I'm over there 
fighting the Huns, mother, I want to know you will be 
warm," was what he said when she protested at his ex- 
travagance. How like a fine American boy! 

CIESLINSKI, JOHN T. (Sergeant): Myrtle Avenue, Bloom- 
field; injured and gassed during an engagement, supposed- 
ly in the Chateau-Thierry sector; died August 26, 1918. 
Sergeant Cieslinski was a member of the medical unit. 
He enlisted June 21 and went overseas shortly afterward. 
Sergeant Cieslinski was twenty-three years old and a life- 
long resident of Bloomfield. He was graduated from the 
Brookside School and held high honors in his class. Ser- 
geant Cieslinski operated a motor boat during the summer 
season at Greenwood Lake and was awarded a medal for 
rescuing a couple who had fallen in the lake from another 
boat. He had been active in athletic affairs and was 
noted for his daring in the various games in which he 
participated. 



One Hundred and Tiventy-one 



DAVIS, CHARLES M.: Descended from the old Davis family 
•who were among the first settlers and helped make history 
in Bloomfield. His ancestors were represented in every 
war in which the United States was engaged, so it was 
in order that he should enlist when his country needed him. 
It was only the call of his country that would have taken 
Mr. Davis away, for his was a kindly nature and he loved 
his home and home folks; but when his country was in 
trou'ble, that was different, and so he enlisted in the Ma- 
rines and shortly after sailed for overseas with the Sixth 
Company, which in France became attached to the Second 
Division. The Sixth Company held the advance of the 
enemy during June, and in July was one of the commands 
to take part in the battle of Chateau-Thierry. Mr. Davis 
was killed on September 12, 1918, in the drive ordered by 
General Pershing for the reduction of the St. Mihiel 
salient. With Charles Davis, war became a serious busi- 
ness from the moment he enlisted. He was first sent to 
(Paris Island, where he went through the most rigid train- 
ing. On the way overseas the ship on which he sailed 
was burned, and the transport that picked them up was 
so crowded that it was impossible to allow the castaways 
to take any of their clothes; so he went aboard with only 
a toothbrush and what covering he had on at the time. 
Charles Davis was much beloved by his family and friends 
and leaves a void in many hearts in Bloomfield. He was 
a member of the First Presbyterian Church and was one 
of the Board of Trustees of the church, a position held by 
some member of the Davis family for generations since 
the church was founded. He was born in the town thirty 
years ago, and educated there, being graduated from the 
High School. 

DEL FAVIO, PETER: Company B, 114th Infantry, A. E. F. ; 
was killed in action in Octdber, 19 18. His home address 
was 37 James Street, Bloomfield. 

DURNING, GEORGE: 312th Infantry, Machine Gun Com- 
pany, 78th Division; was killed in action October 21, 1918, 
in the midst of the heavy fighting prior to the signing of 
the Armistice. Mr. Durning was the son of Policeman 
Charles Durning of Bloomfield and was a member of the 
Volunteer Fire Department, Active Hose Company No. 2. 
He was twenty-seven years old and leaves a wife and in- 
fant daughter. Mr. Durning was born in Bloomfield and 
spent his entire life in the town. 

HAMMOND, ALFRED G. (Corporal): 12th Battalion, 45th 
iCompany, 153rd Depot Brigade; died at Camp Dix Octo- 
ber 3, 1918, from bronchial pneumonia. The body was 
brought home for burial, interment being made in Glendale 
Cemetery. Corporal Hammond left many brothers and sis- 
ters to comfort his mother, Mrs. Evelyn Hammond, of 63 
Newark Avenue, Bloomfield, but the niche that he alone 
could fill will be for ever vacant. Mothers are that way. 
Each child to a mother is the dearest. None can she spare. 

IIEALY, JOHN J. (Sergeant) : Died at Camp Hancock, Geor- 
gia, January 11, 1919, from pneumonia, in his twenty- 
seventh year. His body was brought to Bloomfield, and 
was buried in Mt. Olivet Cemetery. Sergeant Healy was 
a member of the Knights of Columbus, Catholic Lyceum, 
and the Holy Name Society, attached to the Sacred Heart 
Church. He enlisted in the Army in August, 191 7. 

HBDDEN, WESLEY RANDOLPH: Died of pneumonia Octo- 
ber 8, 1918, at Langley Field, A'irginia. Mr. Hedden was 
heart and soul a true soldier, and his most earnest wish 
was to go overseas and take his place with the righteous 
side; but he was called to pay the supreme price before 
this came to pass. Wesley Hedden was of the fifth gener- 



ation of a family of soldiers who have participated in the 
wars of the country from the Revolution to the present 
war, inclusive. The passing of this young man left a void 
which will never be filled jn the hearts of his family and 
friends. 

JONES, THOMAS H.: 47 Baldwin Street; was the first 
Bloomfield boy to make the supreme sacrifice in the fight 
for the freedom and democracy of the world. He was killed 
in action in April, 1918, while with Headquarters De- 
tachment, Marine Crops, A. E. F. He is buried in Grave 
No. 77-D, French Military Cemetery, Bazoilles-sur-Meuse, 
France. His parents received the following letter from 
Major C. Pierce, A. Q. M. N. S. A.: "The service of 
which I am in command will guard this spot of his sepul- 
chre, and we shall try to care for it as you would wish. 
This will be our sacred trust." The sending of the letter 
was a thoughtful, kindly action, and brought solace to the 
sorrowing parents. 

LOCKWOOD, ARTHUR LOGES: was one of the first of the 
boys of the town to answer the call to arms when his 
country needed him and was one of the first to answer the 
final roll call. He died while on duty on the U.S.S. 
Leviathan — just as he would have had it. The friends 
of Arthur Lockwood have only kind words in speaking 
of him, and he has left a memory that will be for ever 
green. The words below, copied from a letter sent to his 
mother shortly before his death will best express his spirit 
about the war: "I am well pleased with the Navy and 
am very glad that I did not let my opportunity of enlisting 
slip by. My highest ambition is to be over there when 
they raise Old Glory over Berlin." A sweet memory for 
his mother to have of her son. 

McCLURE, CRAIG, JR. (Lieut.) : Park Avenue; died October 
22, 191 8, of pneumonia, at Camp Jackson, South Carolina. 
Lieut. McClure was born in St. Louis, Mo. He was twen- 
ty-eight years old at the time he died, and had lived in 
Glen Ridge since a small boy, receiving his education in 
the borough schools and being graduated from the Glen 
Ridge High School. Lieut. McClure would rather serve 
than be served. Old friends and neighbors say, "Craig 
was never so happy as when he was doing the little 
things for his friends, which mean so much." His was a 
kindly nature, always courteous and respectful to his eld- 
ers, and sunny and bright to his associates. And now he 
has "gone West" on the great adventure. Lieut. McClure 
served his God and country to the end. 

MO'SELEY, JAMES (First Lieut.): Attached to the i66th In- 
fantry, 42d Division, a part of the Rainbow Division ; 
was killed in action in the summer of 1918, during the 
battle of Chateau-Thierry, the first Glen Ridge boy to 
mate the supreme sacrifice. Lieut. Moseley was born in 
Raleigh, North Carolina, in 1894, and was the son of Mrs. 
J. A. Moseley, of 56 Douglas Road, Glen Ridge. When 
the Lieutenant was six years old, his family moved to 
Glen Ridge. He was educated in the schools of the bor- 
ough, and was a 1915 Yale man. The record he has left 
in 'Glen Ridge is an enviable one. He was a model speci- 
men of fine American manhood, physically and morally. 
He came out of Plattsburg Training Camp a First Lieu- 
tenant and, sent overseas unattached, was then assigned 
to the i66th Infantry. Lieut. Moseley was a member of the 
Phi Beta Kappa and Alpha Delta Fraternities, and of the 
Yale Club of New York City. Months after he was 
killed, his mother received the Distinguished Service Cross 
awarded to her son in recognition of his extraordinary 
heroism in action on July 15, 1918. 



O/w Hundred and Tivcnly-Ziio 



OLSTRUM, IRVING C. (Sergeant) : 192 Florence Avenue, 
Bloomfield ; was killed in action September 26, 191 8. 
Irving was the last of four children of Mr. and Mrs. 
Thomas Olstrum. It requires a Christian spirit to give up 
the last of the flock and still be able to smile. The big 
and cruel war just passed made heroes of those at home 
as well as those who went forth to fight, and thus it is that 
Irving Olstrum's parents can smile even though their 
hearts are breaking — for their boy died facing the foe. 

PATTERSON, WILLIAM FORD: Member of Battery A, 
ii2th H. F. A.; died at Fort Bayard, New Mexico, July 
15, 1918. Just before he enlisted, Mr. Patterson recovered 
from a very serious illness. After being at Camp McClel- 
lan a short time, he secured a furlough to visit his parents. 
On the way he contracted a cold and when he returned to 
camp he suffered a severe attack of pleurisy. When his 
regiment was ordered overseas, the surgeon declared Mr. 
Patterson unfit to attempt the journey, which was heart- 
breaking news to the young man, as he was anxious to go 
across and get in the thick of the fight. He was ordered to 
hospital service and sent to Fort Bayard, where he died. 

PECK, ERNEST M.: Company 5, 7th Engineers Training 
Regiment; died at Camp Humphrey in October, 19 18. His 
home address was 119 Myrtle Street, Bloomfield. 

PIERSON, CHARLES W.: Died at Newport News, Virginia, 
January 30, 19 19. His body was brought home and buried 
from the home of his parents on Bloomfield, Avenue, 
Bloomfield. Mr. Pierson sailed for France June 30, 1918, 
landed at Brest., and was sent to Romorantine, where he 
assisted in the construction of eight aerodromes, 500x800 
feet in dimension. During his stay in France he worked 
on the flying machines, and among those he helped repair 
was the one used by Quentin Roosevelt just before his 
tragic death. 

RAWSON, JOHN PERRY: Was on the U.S.S. Leviathan, 
making his first trip across, when he died September 30, 
1918. The young man was very popular in his home 
town, Bloomfield, and was an earnest student. He is the 
son of Mr. and Mrs. Rawson of 96 Essex Avenue, Glen 
Ridge, and they tell with pride of John being graduated 
from the High School when but seventeen and that he 
missed only three days from school in nine years. John 
was twenty-seven when he died. His body was brought 
home and buried in the town he was born in. Many of 
his sailor friends attended the services. 

ROBINSON, GEORGE D. (Coxswain) : Died March 7, 1919, 
in the Naval Hospital, from pneumonia. He was buried 
from the home of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. John W. 
Robinson, 39 Baldwin Street, Bloomfield. Had Coxswain 
Robinson lived one month longer, he would have been four 
years in the service of his country. 

SLrNGERLAND, ARTHUR: 27th Division, A. E. F.,'France; 
died October 8, 1918; home address, 40 Ridgewood Ave- 
nue, Glen Ridge. 

SLINGERLAND, RAYMOND: Member of Battery E, 112th 
'H. F. A.; died in France from pneumonia, September 18, 
1918. Mr. Slingerland was twenty-four years old and en- 
listed in the command at Montclair, June 21, 1917. He 
was born in New York and lived in Bloomfield with hi> 
family for seventeen years. He attended the Watsessing 
School and w.ts a member of the First Baptist Church and 
the Y. M. C. A. 

SUAREZ, MILES A.: 54 Linden Avenue, Bloomfield; was kill- 
ed in action, July 15, 1918, in France. He enlisted in the 



New York University Ambulance Corps Unit as an Am- 
bulance Driver, and had been in France a year when he 
was killed. Mr. Suarez was twenty-six years old. 

SWANTON, JOHN D.: Died in France, September 24, 191 8. 
He was a member of Company B, 313th Infantry. Mr. 
Swanton went to Camp Dix, April 21, 1918, and sailed 
for overseas Ma>' 20.. 1918. He -was the son of Mr. and 
Mrs. Abraham S\vanton, of 14 Midland Avenue, Glen 
Ridge. 

TIEMAN, FREDERICK A.: Killed in action October 18, 1918. 
He iwas twenty-seven years old and the son of Mrs. Wil- 
liam A. Tieman of Race Street, Bloomfield. The famil>' 
previously resided at 166 Central Avenue, East Orange. 
Mr. Tieman was a member of Company H, 107th Infantry. 
He enlisted in the former 7th Infantry of New York. 

TOMPSON, DONALD: Was on his first trip overseas on the 
S.S. Celebes, when he \vas called to report to the highest 
General of all, and never reached ''over there." He would 
have been commissioned an Ensign had he lived to return. 
Donald Tompson found it hard to \vait until he had been 
graduated from Stevens Institute, so anxious was he to 
enlist and get into the fight for the freedom of the world. 
He was graduated in the spring of 1918 and immediately 
enlisted in the naval service. Mr. Tompson was descend- 
ed on his father's side from one of Bloomfield's oldest fam- 
ilies. The late Warren S. Baldwin was his great-grand- 
father. He was a member of the B. T., a young men's 
organization that was active in social affairs, and most all 
of whose members saw service. Donald Tompson was the 
first of the club to make the supreme sacrifice. 

VOORHEES, DAVID L.: Died at Ellington Field, Texas, on 
December 22, 1918, from pneumonia. He was the son 
of Mrs. Lemuel Voorhees, of 70 Race Street, Bloomfield, 
from whose home he was buried. Mr. Voorhees was 
twenty-four years old, and lived in Bloomfield since his 
birth. 

WAGNER, FREDERIC: There is a lonely little home at 14 
Henry Street, Bloomfield. The little house looks sad and 
deserted — and it is. The son, Frederic ^^'agner, an only 
child, went out to battle and did not return ; so the father 
and mother find it hard to take up the threads of life with- 
out him, their all. Frederic was killed in action shortly 
before the signing of the Armistice, while with the 327th 
Battalion, Tank Corps, A. E. F. One ray of comfort has 
been given the parents. They received a letter from a 
comrade describing the burial of their son, which read: 
"This morning the whole company marched to the grave 
wherein rests Fred's remains. We placed a cross over his 
grave and had all the necessary identification data inscrib- 
ed thereon. A chaplain read the burial service, after 
which a firing squad composed of his former comrades per- 
formed the necessary ceremony. The Company Bugler 
then played taps. The ceremonies were attended by all 
officers and men of his compan}'. There is no one who 
knew Fred that could not say he was a soldier in every 
sense of the word as regards bravery and morale." 

WOLCOTT, GEORGE THURSTON (Corporal): 214 New- 
ark Avenue, Bloomfield ; was killed in action September 
26, 1918, while attached to the 311th Infantry, A. E. F.

he married Harriet Bickler.
